Abu Hurayrah reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

Every action a son of Adam does shall be multiplied-a good action by ten times its value, up to 700 times.
Allah says: With the exception of fasting, which belongs to Me, and I reward it accordingly. For, one abandons his desire and food for My sake.

There are two occasions of joy for a fasting person: one when he breaks his fast, and the other when he meets his Lord, and the (bad) breath (of a fasting person) is better in the sight of Allah than the fragrance of musk.
[Al-Bukhari]

CHAPTER 32 -
Wrong Timing!

The warm breeze of summer air, hit her niqaab cladded face, making the material of the niqaab kiss her cheeks. Bringing relief to sweat beaded face. The warmth of sun, increasing day by day, as the time passes.

As it was almost, end of March. Sun was on its full blast. Making everyone's throat dry, and, draining every single drop of water that was stored in thier body, all this winter! The bright sun rays, feels as if it was throwing daggers in thier direction. Making everyone go blind with its brightness.

Aasiya got up from her position, where she was seated awhile ago. Enjoying the view infront of her. The sun was almost down, just a few peaks of golden orange color hues are, penetrating here and, there. The wind picked up it's speed, as if it was about to rain. And, it was almost the time for maghrib salah.

She heard, distant foot steps of someone, climbing the stairs. Aasiya quickly dusted the dirt off of her clothes, and, turned to leave, when Yusra came in her view. She sighed in relief, as it was Yusra. She smiled under her niqaab, and moved her legs in Yusra's direction.

"Oh! You are here?!" Yusra spoke, as she reached the threshold of thier terrace. "I was looking for you everywhere, I thought, somebody kidnapped you!" She added, while putting a hand on her chest, for extra dramatic effect.

Aasiya shook her head, at her friends tantrums. "I was just enjoying the beautiful view from our terrace. Though, it's little humid, out here. But, peaceful enough to recite qur'an." She stated, tightening her grip over her pocket qur'an.

"I was coming down to offer maghrib salah, anyways!" She said, as they both moved along, towards the door. "Why! What happened, did Mama asked for me?!" She quiered, to which Yusra shook her head.

Aasiya placed the pocket qur'an in the bookshelf, and began to untie her niqaab, while trying to find the remote, to switch on the air conditioner. After a few futile attempts to find the remote, she found it under the coffee table, laying on carpeted floor.

After placing her niqaab in its place, she rushed to do wudhu, as for maghrib adhaan was being called off. She offered her salah, and, make her way to downstairs.

"Asslamau alikum, Mama!" Aasiya greeted Muskaan, as soon as she saw her. Whose lips were moving, and tasbeeh beads in her hand. Though, she replied to Aasiya's Salam, with a smile, and, a nod. Then resumes back to her dhikr!

Aasiya paced towards dining area, without making any noise. She found, Yusra immersed in her mobile, with a deep frown itched on her face. She shook her head at her nanad's bubbly nature.

She smacked on Yusra's forehead slightly, to grab her attention! "Ouch! What was that for?" Yusra queired, while rubbing the spot, where her bhabhi, just smacked her!

"Nothing!" Aasiya shrugged her shoulders, nonchalantly. "I just felt like it." she commented, with a wink, and a playful smirk. To which, Yusra narrowed her eyes.

"What are you doing, anyways? What's got your attention so much, that you didn't even have sense of your surroundings!" Aasiya stated, while trying to peak in Yusra's mobile. But, Yusra was quick at her reflexes, and moved away.

Aasiya rasied her, eyebrows in surprise. "Why should I tell you? Go and, peak at your own!" Yusra countered, and went to sit on another chair, far away from her.

"Woah! Woah! Woah! Something's fishy! What are you hiding?" Aasiya's got best of her, and she began to go after Yusra. But, she didn't know what's in store for her, as Yusra began to run through the hallway, and, climbed the stairs.

"You can't catch me!" Yusra showed her tongue out, and ran as fast as she could, and hide in her room.

Aasiya, just sat their unable to run after her crazy friend, as Mama was, doing dhikr, not so far away from the dining area. So, she silently went after Yusra, with a pissed off look. For she very well knows that, Aasiya can't be crazy like her.

When she reached, Yusra's room, she was on her bed, laying peacefully without a worry of the world. When she saw, Aasiya entering the room. Yusra burst out into fits of giggles. Soon, Aasiya also joined her. And, both lay on the bed, holding their stomach respectively.

"Allah! That was crazy!" Yusra spoke, while catching her breath.
"Yeah! You are such a cheat!" Aasiya said. "You knew that, I can't run around like a mad woman infront of Mama! Still, you did this to me!" She pushed her slightly. Yusra just laughed out loud, in response.

"What were you doing anyways?" Aasiya asked again.

"Oh! That! I was going through my instagram feeds, and, saw one of our pictures from college! I just felt, like I miss those days." Yusra stated. With a sigh.

"So, that's the reason, you had did, what you did down their, Huh?!" Yusra nodded with a sheepish grin!
"Allah! Yeh ladki marwake hi chodegi!" (Allah! This girl will kill me one day!) Aasiya said, looking at heaven wards!

"Okay! Jokes apart! Did you hear from Aaliyah?!" Aasiya inquired, while getting up from the bed.

"Yeah! She texted me, yesterday. Saying, she's stuck in her hometown with her parents. And, the aunties over there, don't leave a chance to get her hitched with one of her cousins! These relatives, I tell you! Poor Aaliyah! Stuck there for over a month!" Yusra shook her head, with a grin.

"Her cousin's wedding was last Sunday right?!" Yusra nodded. "Why isn't she back yet?" Yusra just shrugged.

"Maybe, her parents really found someone. She went there as single, and, will come back with her Zawja!" Yusra broke into laughter! To which Aasiya also snickered.

"Come let's go, before Ammi shouts on me for my earlier stunt!" Yusra dragged Aasiya with her.

*******

Zaryaan glanced at his wrist watch, as it shows, six in evening. He blinked his eyes few times, and massaged them with his index and, thumb finger. He saved the folder, which he was working on, and, shut the laptop, before placing in its bag.

He closed all the files, that he was working on. Arranged the scattered papers, that were plucked out of the filer and, placed them in their respective spot.

While fetching his car keys, he rounded his chair, to put the gift, that he bought for his beautiful wife, before standing straight in his position.

After making sure, about the lock, he left the office, while sending a slight wave towards the company watchman, with a quick Salam. He drove off.

All the way, the smile that etched his lips, wasn't leaving it's place. He can feel the jittery feeling, that was forming in pit of his stomach, making its path all the way to his fluttering heart. Making his, whole body shiver with excitement.

His grip tightened on the steering wheel, as he can feel his muscles pop out, and flex with excitement. He was waiting for her reaction, when he discloses, what he had in store for her.

" Subhan Allah! I can't wait to see her reaction!"

Zaryaan muttered to himself, with a constant grin covering his face, with slight nervousness etched forehead. His brown eyes, spraked with light, as he wondered back to the gift.

He parked his car, and, strode towards the main door, to knock it. But, to his surprise, Aasiya was already there, standing in the threshold of the main entrance, with a small smile.

"Assalamu a'alikum!" She greeted him, before taking his blazer off of his shoulder, and, his bag from the other. Placed it, on the chair, near fire place.

"Here!" She poured some chilled mango juice, into a glass, and handed it to him, once he settled in one of the arm chairs.

"Ahh!" Zaryaan let out a soft groan, as soon as the chilled liquid flows down his dry, and patchy throat. "Jazak Allah u khairan, Iya habibiti! May Allah reward you for this!" A hearty dua'a escaped from his lips as soon as, the liquid soothed his thirsty self.

"Ameen!" Aasiya replied back, in low tone. With a soft smile, as her face was getting warm not due to the hot weather, but with the endearment her husband used for her!

She slowly wiped, the tiny drops of sweat, that was forming on his forehead with the edge of her dupatta. "Wait a second!" She cooled down the temperature of air conditioner, and began to massage his head with slight pressure.

Zaryaan closed his eyes, in pure bliss, with a smile. Aasiya noticed the, smile and, she continues her work, from head to shoulders, with light pressure, then moving back to the nape of his neck.

'perks of having wife!'

After few minutes passed, she felt heavy breathing, in combination with light snores. She gazed down to find, that her husband was fast asleep, while still sitting on the chair.

She adjusted his head, so as to not get neck sprain. And, removed his shoes, and, socks before placing them, on the table nearby. And, took all of his work essentials, to thier bedroom.

When she was about to, walk out of the room, a large envelope got her attention, that was laying on the floor near, where she kept his belongings. She fetched the envelope, and, it read as 'Zaryaan Ali khan'!

'May be fell out of his bag!' She thought to herself, and was about to place it, but felt it was very light in weight.

She contemplated to open the seal, 'What if it was something work related, and I messed it up! Let's just put in here.' She placed it in his bag.

"Wow!" Yusra almost yelled. Zaryaan sign her to keep it low. "Sorry!" She gave a sheepish grin, before continuing in low whisper. "Ma shaa Allah! I'm so excited for this." She rubbed her hands in excitement.

"Do you think, she will like it?" Zaryaan asked with uncertainty, in his tone.

"Like.!? She will love this bhai! She always wanted that! I'm so happy that you choose that for her!" As she said that, Zaryaan's face broke into a huge grin.

'Alhamdulillah!'

"Now tell me what's my part in this?" Yusra queired.

"What? I'll handle everything, you don't have to flop my plan, even before I execute it. I can't trust you when, keeping secrets from her!" Zaryaan said, making Yusra's mouth hung open.

"You can't stay even a second without telling her, about your new Kurta and, new shade of your lip gloss. And, you want me to trust you with this?!" He shook his head. "Not a chance!"
Causing Yusra to argue about her being part of the plan.

*******

She began to walk down the stairs, as she was about to climb down the last step, slow whisperings were heard, as if bees were making noises. She went towards the direction of noises, and, stood few feet away from living area.

There she, witnesses, a fully awake Zaryaan, and her naughty nanad, looks as they were not able to agree with each other.

'Itne jaldi uth bhi gaye!' (woken up already!)

She strode towards the living area, as soon as she came in thier view, both of them, went all silent without a sound. Both were looking at her, with wide eyes, like Faiz, when he would get caught doing something naughty!

Both the siblings, we're staring, more like a statue with eyes popped out. Yusra was the first one to change her, posture. She raised her eyebrows, and, cleared her throat, before kicking her brother, sideways with her elbow to bring him back to normal.

Who was, all red, and alert, probably panicking about, his plan being revealed.

Aasiya felt uncomfortable, and uneasy, as both the siblings were gazing at her, with weird looks. She felt as if she was intruding their private 'brother-sister time'.

"Umm! Sorry! I didn't mean to interrupt anything." Aasiya cleared her throat, after a moment and, spoke. "I heard some noises from living area, you were asleep when I left you, and no ones there. So, I____ just thought ___ to ___ Ahh ___ check!" Aasiya felt really disappointed in herself of being so inconsiderate.

'I should have left, from thier only, when I saw both of them having some talk.' She mentally smacked herself.

A few moments passed, but none of them uttered a word, making Aasiya worried more, and, loath in her self pity. What felt like an eternity, Yusra spoke. "Did yo___! Ah! Siyaaa! There's nothing to be sorry, about! We were just having small talks." Yusra shook her head, frantically. Making Aasiya to look at her with concern!

"You know what! I should probably go and, check if Ammi is done with her salah!" With that, Yusra fled out of there! "I'll call everyone for dinner, you guys come soon!" She spoke from a distance, before vanishing into one of the hallways!

*******

Zaryaan cleared his throat, after a long moment of silence. 'Did she heard everything?!' He can feel, a line of sweat sliding behind his ear, down to his neck, disappearing into his collar!

"Ah! I____ erhmmm!" Once again, he cleared his throat, causing Aasiya to think, as something got stuck in his throat. "I'll be down in 20 minutes!" With that he turned to take his blazer and, bag. But, failed to locate them.

"I placed them, in our room, along with your other belongings!" Aasiya was quick in response. He nodded at her and, went off to take shower.

Once inside the room, he made a bee line towards his bag, which has his surprise envelope. He rummaged through his bag, to find it safely placed in the back pocket.

He released a sigh of relief. After grabbing a towel, he headed in the direction of bathroom to freshen up.

Once he was done with, his routine. He came out, only a thin fabric of towel loosely wrapped around his waist, hung low. Showing off his v line! And, hard torso. He casually walks towards the mirror, unaware of his wife, being there behind the wardrobe door, fetching something.

As soon as she closed the door, she let out a low scream, making Zaryaan to drop the brush, that he had in his hand, and, tighten his hold on the towel.

"Subhan Allah! You scared me, Iya!" He breathed in horror, with wide eyes, and creased forehead. Aasiya quickly turned in the opposite direction, showing her back.

"I didn't saw anything, I swear! I didn't!" She put hands on her cheeks, trying to calm herself. Her cheeks were getting hot, with each passing second.

He was confused, as what she was referring to? Then it struck to him, and an naughty grin plastered on his face. "No! You did saw everything!" He stated in an accusatory tone. She was frantically shaking her head, still hands on her cheek.

"No! I didn't!" Zaryaan face was red, for he was holding his laughter with very difficulty.

"You intentionally hide behind the door! You knew I was having shower, yet still you hide there!" He was really enjoying it. Her face was flushed with panick. She didn't understand how to make him believe her.

Zaryaan took slow steps, towards her, and wrapped his right hand around her mid-riff, just below her breast! Causing her breath to hitch in her throat. The air, in her lungs forgot where to pump the it.

With his left hand, he slowly unwrapped her hijab, piece by piece taking off each pin. He threw the piece of cloth, somewhere in the room, and, buried his head, in her silky soft teresses.

"Hmm! Lavenders!" He breathed in her hair, placing a soft kiss right there! To which Aasiya responded with a low sigh!

Her insides were turning into a jelly! Making it impossible for her to stand any longer! So, she leaned on him for support, to which he gladly tightened his hold on her. And, began to gather her hair, one side.

He started to place, soft feathery light kisses, all over her shoulder blades, making her sigh in pleasure. He placed a hard yet gentle kiss at, the nape of her neck, inhaling the sweet scent of hers.

He slowly make her to turn around, and, secured her in his arms, by placing a hand, behind small of her back, giving slight pressure. He made her to lift her moon kissed face, to look into her beautiful charcoal black orbs, which were cascaded down. Kissing her rosy tinted cheeks, which caused due to his close proximity.

"Meri taraf dekho, jaana!" (look at me, my life) He leaned down till his lips touch her eye lids, and placed a light kiss right there. Then, on the other one, moving towards the tip of her nose, before rubbing his own nose on hers, making her let out harsh breath, that she was holding for so long!

His gaze fell on her parted lips, which were shining in the moon light, as rose petals. He caressed all of her facial features, with his love filled eyes, and, saw her slightly closed eyes, as if giving him persmission of what he was seeking for.

With a small kiss on her forehead, he leaned down towards her soft plump lips. Out of nowhere, there's a knock on the door, causing Aasiya to jerk in her place. Making Zaryaan's grip on her tight, to hold her in a place.

"Sorry to disturb, but, dinner's ready!" They heard Yusra's voice in a distance, Aasiya didn't miss the naughtiness in her tone, and blushed a bright shade of pink!

'Wrong timing, sissy!'
